Some gear use only the tires to absorb the landing loads. Keep it simple, and light. George Graham RX-7 Powered Graham-EZ, N4449E Homepage http://bfn.org/~ca266

See Roger Mann's RW-19 for a nice example of a long-travel landing gear. He uses the oleo-pneumatic element off a big dirt bike, combined with a stiffer after-market spring. Gives him something like 10" of travel and you really have to see one of his landings to believe it. (The RW-19 and RW-20 are 2-place clones of the Storch.) -R.S.Hoover
